What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Loma Linda, CA
Comparable rate records
Loma Linda's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Loma Linda's 341.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Cloverdale (342.3), Santa Rosa (342.6), Delano (343.8), Coronado (345.1). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 54.0% of reported property offenses in Loma Linda, against a cohort median of 69.5%. The remainder is burglary (84) and motor vehicle theft (94). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Position in the state cohort
Loma Linda sits mid-pack among comparable California cities
At 341.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Loma Linda ranks 228 of 458 — above 230 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +4.0% against the cohort median of 328.5. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Loma Linda's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
